Remote Play

From PSPWiki

Remote Play is a feature on the Playstation 3 and Playstation Portable which allows a Playstation Portable user to interact with their Playstation 3's Xross Media Bar. Users can access music, videos and games (only Lair and PixelJunk Monsters work) and various programs stored on the Playstation 3's HDD, external flash drive, or optical media. This function hasn't been recreated with a PC and a PSP yet.

Remote Play works by encoding a video and audio stream (most likely AVC and AAC) of the output image on a PlayStation 3 then delivering it over a network to a PlayStation Portable. Actions performed on the PSP such as the pressing of buttons are uploaded back to the PlayStation 3 over the same connection.

The latest update includes the ability to use the feature across the internet, turn your Playstation 3 on remotely, use a few applications, and play all Playstation 1 games, whether stored on the HDD or on an optical disc.

As newly added by the PSP group M33, this data stream can now be decrypted and read, from a Ad-Hoc enabled laptop or computer.
